Director Suraj, who is directing Dhanush for ‘Padikathavan’ has denied any rift with Vadivelu.

On rumors that he fell apart with the comedian while shooting for ‘Padikathavan’, Suraj says, “Obviously yes. There were some problems. Vadivelu wanted to improvise the dialogues on the sets, which I resisted. We then mutually decided to part as friends. Now Vivek has replaced Vadivelu”.

“However that doesn't mean that I have developed cold shoulders with Vadivelu”, he adds.

'Padikathavan' features Dhanush, Tamanna in lead roles. Vivek teams up with Dhanush for the first time in the movie.

A major portion of the movie has been completed. The movie is expected for release for Deepavali.
